Ron,

You should look into FDF. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.fdf.php).

I tested it out (using the function in the second to last comment - I didn't
want to recompile PHP for a one PDF file script) and it seems to work rather
well. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, though.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Filling out PDF Forms Dynamically



I have been tasked to create a php web app that merges database information
with a k1 web form that was downloaded from IRS.com.  Basically the pdf
contains fields that the user would fill out and then either save it locally
or print it out.  I have a database with about a thousand people in it (of
tax information prepared by our accountant) that I would like to merge the
data with the PDF form acting as a template and then once it has been
merged, email a copy both to our accounting  department and the individual.

I'm no slouch when programming with PHP, but I haven't done anything with
PDF's before...can someone give me some pointers on a tutorial or outline
how I should approach this?

Thanks,

ROn
